**Body:** Oswego County Legislature 
**Date:** October 05, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

**Tags:** Healthcare, Grants & Funding


At its October 6, 2026 regular meeting, the Oswego County Legislature Health Committee considered several health department resolutions. The committee approved a $1.25 million increase to the 2026 preschool special-education transportation budget: $325,000 was expected from state aid and $925,000 from unappropriated fund balance. Members discussed rising transportation costs, mandated service requirements, and possible cost-control options, including bringing some transportation in-house and seeking more competition at a future bid. Durham was identified as the sole respondent to the previous bid; no new contract award was made. The discussion also referenced an approximately $850,000 mobility-management grant expected to be recommended for 2027. At least one opposing vote was recorded on the budget modification; the transcript indicates it carried.

The committee also approved a reclassification of an existing health department position to combine responsibilities, with no overall salary increase, and approved deleting a part-time coordinator position, with estimated annual salary and FICA savings of approximately $25,160. The reclassification resolution was amended to correct a figure from $869 to $896. The transcript also references a resolution accepting New York State Department of Transportation Innovative Mobility Initiative grant funding and establishing a capital project, but provides no amount or clear vote outcome. Other discussion covered health department programs and measles prevention; no additional procurement actions were identified.
